FH> I am working with a small group of records to learn how to use

Aside from entering the data by hand, Greenstone is happy to pull
metadata from the source documents Since you're generating the HTML
files, can you embed the desired metadata in the HTML as <META>
elements?

FH> Re: links

FH> Internal Link not Found

FH> For reasons beyond our control, the internal link you have

Try re-importing with the HTMLPlug "-nolinks" option:

-nolinks

Don't make any attempt to trap links (setting this flag may improve
speed of building/importing but any relative links within documents
will be broken).

Once your environment is set up for running Greenstone, you can type
"pluginfo.pl HTMLPlug" to see all of the options.
